Sell the home. Then make it worth more.
Most brokerages hand you off the moment a deal needs work. We carry it across the whole lifecycle.

From waterfront villas to the cranes reshaping the skyline — one company reads the market, lists the home, and self-performs the work that lifts its value.

When a sale needs a new roof to close, a kitchen to lift the price, or a wind-mitigation upgrade to stay insurable, it stays under one licensed roof.

How the fully equipped brokerage works.
What makes Academia Real Estate Corp different from other South Florida brokerages?
Academia pairs a residential brokerage with an in-house, vertically-integrated construction arm. The same company can list or find your home and then improve it — kitchens, baths, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, impact windows, and solar — so you have one accountable team from the offer to the keys to the renovation.
What areas does Academia serve?
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, with a base in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
Can Academia handle renovations or repairs after I buy a home?
Yes. Academia's in-house Improve (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, finishes) and Perform (roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, impact windows, solar) trades can scope and self-perform the work, coordinated by the same company that handled your purchase.
Does Academia help sellers improve a home before listing?
Yes. We advise on the pre-listing upgrades that buyers and appraisers actually reward — and the ones that just delay the sale — and can perform them in-house so the home is market-ready under one contract.
Who is the Broker of Record?
Jose Urdaneta, a licensed Florida real estate broker (license BK3384781).
Does Academia work with real estate investors?
Yes. We support value-add acquisitions, 2–4 unit house-hacks, and BRRRR strategies with in-house construction underwriting, so cost-to-cure and cash-flow math are grounded in what the work actually costs.
